The Truth about Kookaburras

Shop

It’s party-time tonight in the testosterone-drenched change-rooms of AFL underdogs the Gold Coast Kookaburras. They’re celebrating a big win, the booze is free-flowing and a stripper has been booked as a buck’s party surprise for one of the players.

But tainting the air is a bizarre secret held by the entire team. By tomorrow, the secret will be national news, lives will be torn apart and homicide cops will be combing the change-room for clues.

EXTRACT: Fuck! You think it was arrogance? Sometimes the beginnin' o' somethin' goes back further than you know-it-all fuck-heads'd think. Me killin' Ronan Fleming started off a lifetime before the poor little bugger was even born. [Pause.] We were always pariahs. My family. Scumbags nobody wanted to know. Didn't belong. The ol' man was just ... sunburnt skin filled up with hate.
